A Birthday for Bubby!

Have you ever watched

a women giving birth on tv and

wondered why they were acting so crazy?

grungting and screaming and yelling at their hubby.

I have.

I rolled my eyes...

Until Bubby was born.

(stay tuned for further details)

Our Bubby is 4

He was  born a week early

 on February 24, 206

at Cottonwood Hospital

He was my smallest baby

6 lbs 13  oz

It was about 9 o'clock at night and I

was getting ready for bed but i hadn't been sleeping well

so i told Matt i was gonna take a hot shower and

a sleeping pill!

My friend jecca lived down the street and had

come down to chat a minute.

That is when the 

Contractions started.

I doubted myself and figured they were Braxton hicks

contractions and that they would go away.

Matt was getting really excited.

He kept saying ....

"let's just go to the Hospital and see how much your dialated"

It was our 2nd child but our first BOY.

Daddy could hardly wait.

I ended up going to bed.

about 10 minutes later (10 pm)

I was in sooooo much pain

but i  was soooo tired from the unisom sleeping pill,

that i could barely force myself to wake up and go get Matt.

I finally was in so much pain that i was fully alert!

I told Matt....

" WE GOTTA GO....NOW!"

My neighbor and sis in law came down to be with

kenzie as she slept.

I got to the Hospital and told them that i wasnt sure

but i thought that i might be in labor.

The nurse told me Probably not if i was walking

so easily and filling out paperwork at the counter

and was fine.

Inside the exam room,

They checked me and said 

that i was dialated to a 7.

I had about 5 more minutes to get the

epidural or it would be pointless and too late.

I figured that if i was a 7 and i was still doing pretty good....

What the heck....

what's another 3 centimeters???

the nurse said i should just go for a natural

birth.

I agreed...(all brave and dumb like)...

One centimeter later ....

I was cussing and  hateful.

I was sure my body was going to explode.

I just knew i was dying.

One could not survive this much pain.

I really felt for the savior in the garden.

every nerve in my body was screaming pain!

at 11:40 Kade Harley Hawker was born. 

He cried from that point on.

All night....All day...

for the most part of 4 years now.

...and You know what????

I thank him for teaching me patience!

He has made me a better person by far!

I love him just the way he is!

He is my little man and i couldn't ask

for a sweeter child.

He is the gentlest soul and the most loving

boy i have ever met.

He is going to make a wonderful

man someday!

Happy Birthday my Bubby!

Nobody knows what a boy is worth,

we'll have to wait and see.

But every man in a noble place,

a boy  once use to be.
